Finally some nice weather today. The first time to try out the Tamron 150-600 in good conditions. Using the D2x this time. All mounted on Berlebach UNI-16 with Arca Swiss D4. Pretty good sharpness with open aperture on this camera.

Bremerhaven
Some later afternoon/early evening shots from Bremerhaven. Unfortunately I left the Stabilizer on when I used the Sigma 24-105 on the tripod. Therefore around 20 shots were unusable. Above shot was taken with the Sigma 24-105. A really good lens, very flexible, sharp and good build quality.
F-Stop Tilopa packing
Got my F-Stop Tilopa this week. I ordered together with the XL Pro ICU. I was hoping to fit 2 cameras and “normal” gear together with one of the Tele-Zooms (current: Nikkor 200-400f4 or Tamron 150-600f5-6.3) in it but it shows that the Tilopa is not wide enough to take two of these lenses together […]
Tamron 150-600 vs. Nikkor 200-400

Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD Testshots
Finally I got mine. Ordered in early February this year, it didn’t get to my local dealer for the Africa trip, so I cancelled the order. Then re-ordered in June and it arrived mid October… Well done Tamron 🙁 Quite good quality doing some quick test shots (freehand and tripod). Not like the Nikkor 200-400 […]
